Aptera Motors begins building out validation vehicle assembly line

Aptera Motors (SEV) has begun building out its validation vehicle assembly line, a critical step that lays the foundation for its future low-volume production line at the company’s Southern California assembly facility. The new line represents a tangible move from prototype builds to a structured, repeatable assembly process. Engineers and technicians are now refining the systems, tools, and procedures that will guide Aptera’s transition into scalable manufacturing. At the heart of the new setup is a large-scale precision assembly fixture that enables Aptera’s Body in Carbon to be built with dimensional accuracy. Aptera has expanded its operations team and continues to hire engineers and assembly line technicians to support the buildout. With BinC components and chassis assemblies now arriving from supply chain partners, the company has begun assembling validation vehicles through this repeatable process. To advance through this stage and initiate low-volume production, the Company estimates it will require $65M in funding, consistent with its previously disclosed plans.
